implement intra line diffs #2

Closed ghost closed 11 years ago

ghost commented 14 years ago

an example is this difference, which shows every word is different, even if (at least from outside) most of the text looks the same: http://git.awiki.org/changes/742d2426c28a77ee44a3c7232a8739ae9f73d18c

This is about line endings. I once added a regex to translate to \n in text files. You can compare the text files for that with hexdump -c: http://git.awiki.org/Home/version/ec3c?output=text http://git.awiki.org/Home/version/742d?output=text

The diff comes directly from the git binary, so no bug here.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this bug, but I read the original bug report as a request to implement intra-line diffs. Obviously the given example is a bad one.

Intra-line diffs could fairly easily be implemented with the htmldiff module.

currently not planned
